Congratulations
Congratulations on the purchase of your Sunbeam Café Series Deep Fryer.
The Sunbeam Café Series delivers quality, style and superior performance capturing the essence of the commercial kitchen. Inspired by heavy-duty equipment found in restaurants, cafés and bars, the Café Series™ is built to last. It brings together a range of appliances designed to expertly create authentic café food and beverages at home.
Uncompromising blends of stainless steel, glass and die-cast alloy characterise the range. Advanced technology and functional design guarantee the performance of each product will exceed expectations
Creating authentic tempura or classic fish and chips has never been this easy before. The Sunbeam Café Series Deep
Fryer features 2400 watts of power and a
1.25kg cooking capacity. The deep fryer has been designed with ‘cool-zone’ technology for healthier deep frying. The element is suspended in the oil to create a ‘cool-zone' at the bottom of the vessel.
This results in cleaner oil and more precise temperature control while cooking. The ‘cool-zone’ also prevents cooking debris from gathering around the element and burning effectively doubling the life of the oil. Providing a safe and simple way to cook, the deep fryer’s basket is easily lifted in and out of the cooking vessel by its cool touch handle.
Cooking delicious crispy food is so easy!

Using your Stainless Deep Fryer
Before using your Stainless Deep Fryer
1. This appliance is designed for household and indoor use only.
2. Before using for the first time, follow the cleaning instructions on page 11 and clean the fryer and basket.
Note: All parts must be dried thoroughly.
3. Place the fryer on a flat and stable surface away from any heating source and where it cannot be splashed with water.
4. Use the carrying handles when moving the product, never carry the appliance by the lid.
Filling your Stainless Deep Fryer
Note: Do not connect the fryer to the electricity supply if there is no oil or fat in the tank.
1. Remove the lid and take out the frying basket. Pull the handle backwards until the handle locks into position
.
Note: Do not mix different types of oil.
3. Lower the basket into the oil.
4. Replace the lid of the fryer.
5. Insert the plug into a 230 - 240 volt power outlet and turn the power on by using the on/off switch.
6. Rotate the temperature control knob to the temperature that you wish to cook the food. The red indicator light will turn on and the heating element will begin heating the oil.
Safety Feature of the thermostat
Your stainless deep fryer is equipped with a safety thermostat that switches your fryer off in case of overheating.
This will be activated when the desired temperature of the oil is reached, the red indicator light will turn off and the power supplied to the heating element is automatically cut off. The fryer is now ready to cook. When the oil temperature drops, the heating element will switch on automatically.
This may also occur if there is no (or too little) oil in the tank. If the thermostat has switched the fryer off, allow your fryer to cool down and carefully press the reset button on the front of the unit on the left hand side
.
2. Pour good quality vegetable, nut or seed oil into the oil tank until it reaches between the ‘MIN’ and ‘MAX’ marks indicated on the inside of the stainless steel tank. Never operate the fryer without oil or with insufficient oil in the tank.

Cooking in your Stainless Deep Fryer
There are two methods of cooking in your fryer; one general method for most foodstuffs and another for home battered products.
Note: During cooking, steam will build up in the fryer, so when lifting the lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect your hand.
General cooking method
(For pre-cooked, crumbed, floured or wrapped food.)
1. Adjust the control dial to the desired temperature. The red temperature indicator light will illuminate.
2. When the oil has reached the required temperature, the green ready light will illuminate. Remove the lid, lift the basket and put it on the rest in contact with the oil. Place the food, (should be as dry as possible) into the raised basket.
Note: The basket should always be in the
raised position when it is to be filled with food.
so that it is not
3. Lower the basket into the tank.
4. Do not cook food with the lid on.
5. When the food is cooked (see time guide chart on page 9), place the basket on its raised position to drain for a few seconds.
6. Remove the basket and put the fried food on a plate covered with absorbent paper or kitchen towel.
7. When finished with the fryer, turn the temperature knob to the lowest setting and switch the power off. Remove the plug from mains power.
8. Clean the fryer only after the oil is completely cooled down.
Cooking home battered food
This method allows for the fact that if wet batter is placed in the basket prior to cooking the food may stick to the basket. This method of cooking requires extreme care.
1. Adjust the control dial to the desired temperature. The red temperature indicator light will illuminate.
2. When the oil has reached the required temperature the light will go out.
Note: Leave the basket in the down position.
3. Remove the lid of the fryer.
4. Coat the food in batter and allow it to drain slightly to get rid of the excess coating.
5. Very carefully, slowly lower the coated food into the hot oil, using a suitable implement or tongs. This allows the batter to become solid and prevents it sealing to the mesh of the basket.
Note: Remember to take care as the oil may spit as the food is added.
You can now follow the instructions as given
in the general cooking method, steps 4 - 8.
